Do y’all ph down after adding the Agsil?
It shoots the ph way up for me, but I figure the soil can handle it, I wonder about if I was to Foliar it though, would the high ph affect anything?

I’m not who you asked , but I do em 1 in the reservoir, and any ferments get watered in up top when the reservoir is dry.

Just foliar it.

I use EBs as they were designed so the majority of the water comes from the reservoir. The wicking capillary action brings the water, labs, and air up into the soil. I add a tsp of LABS per gal every time, I fill the reservoir.
I treat my sips as almost like three distinct layers. Bottom soil is acidic as it’s first in contact with reservoir and LABS. I create a ph neutral middle layer by using a layer of OSF. The top is fungal dominant and alkaline. The plants have the ability to take what they want, when the want at varying ph levels.

I don’t ph shit any more! Throw some OSF in your soil and call it a day.

I do not PH balance.
Gotcha, interesting.
I guess I will add some LABs when I finally decide to fill up them EB’s

Oh, duh haha. Cool, okay, thanks for the clarification.
I moved from mixing my own nutes and back to soil because I freaking hate doing PH. I would rather make some crazy KNF or living soil concoctions any day of the week vs doing PH every feed lol.

PHing is enough to scare away most beginners. I fucking hated it and glad I found a system where it just works and I could throw away all my ph pens, drops, up, down, buffer solution, storage solution, blah blah blah.

I posted a leaf pic in the problem thread asking for assistance with identification. Was told to pH water, water going in, soil and a slurry test. Problem was thrips. Just didn’t check well enough.
Control vs. Trust = Tail-chasing vs. Preparation

You can put a little BRV or fruit vinegar in the water and that will bring the ph down if your worried about it,

Day 19 or 20 in the EB’s???
I have been a bit out of touch as of late and I am a bit behind because of it. The plants fully recovered and kicked pack into good health days ago, so now I am behind on training them out a bit and flipping them to flower.
Sadly there are a plant or 2 that should have been turned a little in their location to best fit and train how it should be, but we will work with it.
Slower rate of recovery than last time, but at least they are healthy and happy finally

I had jumped the gun a few days early on the training, so I hope I don’t regret it in the near future. It is easy to train something to grow way to dense in a small area lol.
Reservoirs were dry yesterday, so I added 1 gallon of LABs water to each and 1/2 gallon of normal filtered water to each. I will be giving them a top dressing and top watering with some goodies in a few days around when I flip to flower.
My timing on watering’s and flipping is a bit off, but I will deal with whatever it throws at me.

Super behind, but here is a quick update. I think this is day 4 of flower? The tent was filled wall to wall the other day so I had to get in there and just start ripping shit. Had to be in there with 2 hands feeling my way through everything and tearing small branches, nodes and fan leaves off since I was pretty much blind accept for the top canopy.
Things are only going to get more and more busy over here for a bit, so hoping everything will survive the lack of attention after this defoliation.
